Hello, wonderful, amazing, sweet and lovely people. How are you all doing today? I hope you are all having a great day.
Today is a beautiful day and I am very excited to be back with another post.
We had the opportunity to visit with my friend, Tanya and her family over the weekend and it was an absolute joy! Tanya and I have been friends for a long time and she's one of the few people I truly connect with. I have added pictures from our meeting for you to see😀.
I am learning each day that my happiness and peace are dependent on me. The more I think about it, the more it becomes clear to me that NO ONE is responsible for my joy and peace but me! These days, I'm being more intentional in making sure that am not putting my joy on hold, with the hope that someone else would make me happy.
I love my sweet family and am grateful to God for blessing me, but I'm learning more to make me a priority. It doesn't serve anyone any good, for me to put my joy and needs on hold for them.
Every time you think you have to sacrifice your joy for someone else, you're heaping coals of fire that would soon burst in flames. You need to stop that. In order to best serve your family, you must serve you.
It is so deceiving how the world is perceived. There are forces in the atmosphere created by people, that try to force you to think that the best way to serve everyone is by forgetting or neglecting your needs. That's an absolute lie!
I've come to encourage you through this post, that it is possible to be your best while taking care of you and then others.
I'm not encouraging selfishness but self-care and love.
Through experience with bouts of resentment, I've learned that I need to take care of me too.
Take this post today as a reminder that you are important and need to show yourself some love and care, okay?
I thank you for being here and loving on me, always😊.
Until next time,
Maryam
